Changelog

Source code downloads for released versions can be downloaded from Github.

v2.0

Release:

v2.0.0

The v2.0.0 release removes the cdms interface. The cdms2 package is no longer maintained and therefore support has been dropped.

v1.7

Release:

v1.7.0

Date:

21 August 2018

The v1.7.0 release makes further progress on the road to more modern tooling and processes. The significant changes for users/contributors are:

  • Support for using Legendre functions computed on-the-fly or stored, implemented by @rcomer [#97, #98].

  • The source code directories have been reorganised, the lib/windspharm directory has been moved to windspharm/ (lib/ is removed) and the doc/ directory has been renamed docs/ [#105].

  • The package version is now controlled by versioneer.

In addition, this is the first release where documentation and PyPI packages will be built automatically as part of the continuous integration system.

v1.6

Release:

v1.6.0

Date:

9 May 2018

This release has no major user-facing changes, its main purpose is to modernise the test suite and fix problems with NumPy compatibility, although the modifications to the test suite may have knock-on effects for package maintainers.

  • Fixes for NumPy compatibility [#89, #90].

  • Switch from nose to pytest for the test suite [#91, #94].

v1.5

Release:

v1.5.1

Date:

9 January 2017

  • Improved recognition of Gaussian grids [#78, #76, #79].

Release:

v1.5.0

Date:

27 April 2016

  • Added a keyword argument to control the radius of the sphere used in the spherical harmonic computations. The rsphere keyword is available for all interfaces.

v1.4

Release:

v1.4.0

Date:

1 March 2016

  • Added an xarray interface allowing use of windspharm with xarray.DataArray objects.

  • Fixed a bug in the identification of Gaussian grids in the iris interface.

  • Fixed a bug where the truncate method would not work on inverted latitude grids in the iris interface.

v1.3

Release:

v1.3.2

Date:

18 May 2015

  • Fixed a bug in the iris and cdms interfaces that caused incorrect results to be returned from the gradient method if the input had a latitude dimension ordered south-north (thanks to Adrian Matthews for the report).

  • Fixed the metadata of the return values from the gradient and truncate methods in the cdms interface, previously a temporary variable name would be included in the id and long_name attributes when it should have been the name of the input field.

Release:

v1.3.1

Date:

1 June 2014

  • Improved support for setuptools, users already using v1.3.0 need not upgrade to v1.3.1.

Release:

v1.3.0

Date:

2 May 2014

  • Added a method to apply spectral truncation to a scalar field.

  • Basic Python3 compatibility using 2to3 (pyspharm does not yet have Python3 support but some Linux distros provide a patched package).

v1.2

Release:

v1.2.1

Date:

8 August 2013

  • Fixed error in the iris interface where cubes with a south-north latitude dimension could not be used [#22].

Release:

v1.2.0

Date:

20 May 2013

  • Prevented possible double copying of data in order_latdim [#16].

  • Refactored test suite and added more test coverage [#14].

  • Fixed bug in calculation of the magnitude of a vector wind [#13, #11].

v1.1

Release:

v1.1.0

Date:

10 January 2013

  • First release.
